I really thought she was going to lay an egg this afternoon. Got the video ready, but alas, she did not. She is fooling all of us.Her eyases always hatch in the first days of May, so it will probably be a few more days.

Nijmegen
A beautiful sunset in Nijmegen. The pergrine couple takes turns incubating. The female takes 67% of the breeding tasks, the male takes care of the food supply. In nijmegen the couple had a great area to hunt around the nestbox. 
Harrisburg
2 beautiful eggs for L'Mom and Dad. How many more this year?The live feed is great to have the sounds of the falcons in the background!
Cobb Island
Here is a map of the 3 Virginia Falcon cams: Cobb Island, Richmond, and James River Bridge. Thanks ObxbarbBologna
From the 5th day of incubation on the embryo is moving. The more the embryo grows the more distict it's movements are. As long as there space in the egg the embryo likes to swim in the amniotic fluid. Just like the mamal embryo is surrounded by fluid, the eyas is as well. At some point the incubating parent can feel the movements in the egg by the very sensitive breeding patch. In a live stream feed one can see and hear the reactions of the parents when she/he feels the chick move. Just like a mamal mother can feel the baby in her whomb, the peregrine has contact with it's unborn baby. Nature is a miracle!
